What We Offer

Located nearly 20 miles from any other public library, Spicewood Community Library provides a variety of services to the residents of this area. The library opened in 2007 on 100% private funding with no county or state assistance. Except for Burnet County providing a part-time employee to help manage the library added in 2015, all costs to operate the library are borne by the Friends of the Spicewood Community Library, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. With fundraising success from numerous donors and fundraising activities, the library now offers:

Access to thousands of e-books and audio books to check out via download

Fax (local and toll free numbers only) and copy services

Adult book club and children's reading program

Periodic continuing education workshops

Monthly services such as Lawyer in the Library

Community meeting room

Thrift store

Other Services

Free online access to thousands of eBooks, videos and eAudiobooks through Overdrive.

Notary services free of charge when notary is working

Fax Machine ($1.50 first page, $1.00 a page after that to send)

Copier ($0.10 per page single sided, $0.20 per page double sided)

Staff must fax all materials and patron confidentiality and privacy will be maintained. If a patron has multiple items and/or there are other patrons in the library needing assistance, non-library services take a lesser priority.
